Book Discussion: “Eric Mendelsohn’s Synagogues in America”
February 15 at 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
In the Weimar years of the 1920s, after the Nazis temporarily ended the career of the prominent Jewish, German architect Eric Mendelsohn, Mendelsohn left Germany with only his architect’s pencil. He went on to success in England, Mandatory Palestine, and the United States. In post-war America, Mendelsohn represented what he perceived as the new Jewish self-confidence in his architectural designs of modern and modernist synagogues.
